123 Kubernetes workload rules across EKS, GKE, and AKS (41 each) cover reliability, security, idle, orphan, and rightsizing. Findings combine with cloud-native node and managed-service recommendations on the same dashboard. ZopNight applies kubernetes cost management to non-production across AWS, GCP, and Azure, measured against real usage. See it by cloud or by service below, and the discipline in [FinOps](https://zop.dev/learn/finops).

## Frequently asked questions

### Where should I start?

Start with the FinOps overview for the discipline that ties it together, then use the specific guide, cloud, or location page for the task you are on.

### Is production at risk?

No. Production is excluded by default; ZopNight acts only on the non-production resources you choose.

### What access does ZopNight need?

A read-only role to start. Discovery, cost reporting, and recommendations all run read-only, and you enable actions when you are ready.
